i use scotty’s 2:1 rule now: if i think it’s going take an entire sprint i automatically tell my managers that it’s either a story or an epic. if i’m sure that i only need the sprint, then it becomes a story; but if i’m not sure i can get done in a sprint, it becomes an epic.
If you didn’t, how would you ever find the motivation to start?
It’s almost a productivity hack.
lol right
The fact that I now know is the very reason why I no longer start.
Don’t tell those other suckers, though, or else nothing will ever get started.
been doing this long enough to not even care anymore, i find other motivation than “it’s be quick and easy”
We did it not because it was easy, but because we thought it would be easy.
This will be done in three months worst case.
I always multiply my estimates by 3
